As a student here at UNH, CoLead graduate Melissa Podaski thought the Thompson School was the "Best of Both Worlds", a small school and class environment housed at a large university. She also enjoyed how active the CoLead program was in the community, allowing her to be part of a small group who made big things happen.

Community Leadership graduate, Bryan Dwyer, is making a difference in NH. He works as the Program Manager for City Year New Hampshire, a non-profit organization focused on reducing the dropout rate in local High Schools.

local shelters, is a jock at heart and loves educating students about animals,
even bringing laughter to the classroom at her own expense. Meet Sarah Proctor, DVM.

Horticultural Technology Professor Rene Gingras believes in
hands-on learning which is why he teaches credited courses in landscape
lighting and pond design. His students actually
learn to install these landscape features from the ground up.

Hort Tech and Applied Business alum Jeff Levine is living
the dream as a successful Real Estate Agent in NH. In 2010 he had the 2nd highest
sales volume in his Portsmouth office and was the #3 producer in his entire company, state-wide. And he credits much of his success to the
start he got here at Thompson School.

Our hands-on coursework is what he’ll continue to use in all
his future endeavors. Meet James Airey, a graduate of our Forest Technology program, who
recently graduated from UNH with a second degree, a BS in Forestry. That's 2 degrees in just 4 years.

With a year of Applied Business Management courses under her belt, current student Michaela Coakley took her education in a new direction, flying to Florida to learn how a successful business is really run during her year long intership with Disney. Now she's back to finish her degree with us.
